Karen

General
Class: Ranger

Race: Wood Elf

Status: Alive

Affiliation: Marvelous Misadventurers

Personality
Karen is not adept at socializing but people gravitate towards her for her levelheaded thinking and responsible disposition, despite her drinking habits and inconsiderate language.

She is truly loyal to the groups she claims loyalty to, even if she can come off as prickly towards them. Because her own commune abandoned her early in her adulthood, she empathizes deeply with those who have been forsaken by their communities. However, as she discussed when the Marvelous Misadventurers approached the Demon King, she faces problems directly and tries to not shy away from a challenge when faced with one because she "has been running long enough."

At times, her curiosity and desire to learn new things supersedes more important issues. She often goes out of her way to learn names during the party's travels. Although she is poor at talking to people, she takes care to remember what she hears.

Background
Karen was born and raised in the same elf commune as Zee, where she and Zee used to play basketball with a pyramid shaped basketball. When Zee stole the basketball along with the Extra Long Bow, the elves of the commune placed the blame on Karen who could not defend herself and, at around age 100, was forced out of the commune.

Living a largely nomadic lifestyle, Karen did try to reintegrate into some towns in Aronia to no avail. ending up back on the road after being blamed for others' crimes again. In her travels, she stopped in an inn and witnessed a child Peater and his sister being beaten by their father, who owned the inn. She snuck them out and took them to Castle Town. After setting them free in town, Karen stayed in an inn and went down to the tavern for a drink. Saibo approached her and the other soon-to-be Marvelous Misadventurers to recruit them to retrieve the Chalice of Torm.
